#tw // homophobia mention

[allthesame-notthesame]

can i just say i am so sorry to all the gay, bi and just queer men in this fandom who have to witness this horrible amount of homophobia over tommy and just his fucking presence in the show as bucks boyfriend!

you all deserve better than this toxic bullshit from the fandom, you deserve to be able to see people celebrating this gay relationship without people saying they want tommy to die because he gets in the way of buddie, or that he is horrible for making a joke after they were both vulnerable and buck literally set him up for it!!!

and to all the people in the fandom who are actively spouting this homophobic bullshit, maybe think for a moment about why you hate this gay man so much, and why you hate this queer male relationship, and why your response to hating it is talking about how the gay man is toxic, predatory and corrupting sweet innocent buck. maybe consider how this narrative isn’t as innocent as you may think it is and how it might be indicative of some prejudice and homophobia in yourself!

and a reminded you are not immune to being homophobic just because you are queer!!!

its genuinely fucking baffling at how prevalent homophobia, transphobia, ableism and racism is in the utmv fandom

the amount of utmv people i see say the most racist shit under posts showing human sans designs people made that dont fit their criteria of “white, short hair, skinny and buff cis dude” is??? literally?? what??? seeing the comments under fishee’s human sans posts is one prime example.

the only thing that has slightly gotten better in the past years were its homophobia and ableism, but its still there. homophobia as “stop making everything shipping/gay!!!” “they’re only friends” and ableism as demonising or infantilising ink. “ink has a lack of empathy so he must be evil!!!! he doesn’t care about his friends at all!!!!” or “ink did nothing wrong, hes just a baby, just a little guy” OR just basic ableism about peoples head-cannons that revolve around mental illness, physical illness, etc (and before you say “i havent seen that!” i literally got laughed at in a hc channel not too long ago for saying “chronically ill geno and classic, they use mobility aids”)

now onto the rampant transphobia, its gotten worse. people just genuinely cant grasp that jakei themselves said that cross is trans-coded. actively denying and saying the post itself is fake even though jakei had most likely gotten backlash from transphobic bigots that try and dictate how jakei should make their characters which ensued them deleting said post. if you’re a person whos doing exactly that, you ARE the problem. let jakei have their well needed break ffs

I don’t think I actually want Warriors to make any gay cats canon because I know they would be butchered SO BAD. Istg the Clan cats would be constantly making thinly veiled homophobic comments, but the authors wouldn’t treat them as homophobes. The couple would be treated so goddamn bad by the writers because they can’t have kits (which the writers have constantly praised as necessary), unless they adopted, THEN all the writers would focus on is how adoption isn’t real. I just feel it in my bones. The best we’re gonna get is implied gay cats because then the writers can’t ruin them like every other canon pairing.

If post-Day of Unity Amity discovered the various kinds of bigotry that exist in the human realm, particularly homophobia and sexism, that shit would get biblical.

Okay but what if Flowey was just homophobic the whole time /j 🤨

gay!Ford headcanon: Mabel susses him out and starts trying to tell people about her gay grunkle but Ford responds with massive panic because he's from the 80's and he thinks the most common response to being queer is violence still :3c

This is actually so sad 😭😭😭 It makes me want a happy lil comic of Mabel telling him all the progress that's been made in regards to LGBTQ+ rights over the years💖

★Hello y'all, this is crucial.★

★So, this is: @lawrence86sblog, and they, along with 480 members, need help, support and supplies as well.★

★Let me fill you in on their situation★ :

Five years ago, Lawrence fled away from Uganda to Kenya due to the large amount homophobia and hostility in the area and have been in Kahuma refugee camps (which are located in the North Wester Turkana Region). Although, because the Kenyan government denied to speed up the process of their cases, they had no option from the meeting with them (the government) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Lawrence's case was put on hold on 19 of December 2023

As of now, them, along with 480 other members, as resided at Goromp Camp which is located in South Sudan. From what I managed to understand from the information that Lawrence gave me, I'd that the place there is very remote and they as well made it clear that life there is very hard, especially for the LGBTQ refugees, considering the fact that they are devoid of basic emergency supplies.

The members of the refugee camp include of children, women, men and people- all from different sexual orientations and they all are in need and in want of shelter, food, basic living supplies in general.

From what I also understood, most of the the members there don't have the ability to access the internet, let alone have a smartphone and setting up a fundraiser is not much of an option for them, if we include the fact that they are in Africa. Also, despite them having an account, they do have limited access on the internet, so other people of their community spreading their wants for help is kind of, well, limited.

So, with all that said:

THEY NEED HELP, SHOW THEM SOME SUPPORT Y'ALL !! (and set up a fundraiser for them if you can, but contact them to see if they allow you to)

★ NOTES: I'm so sorry if I got their pronouns wrong, I just felt the need to post this quickly. I happily change, or add anything to make this more accurate !! ★

★Steren / Astro, out.★

Wondering about this as this has been on my mind for a while. I wonder if Hiroaki wasn’t in such a homophobic environment do you think he’d like pride culture? As like Hiroaki says that he likes when people express themselves through clothing and stuff so I’m thinking about this.

Steve's dad once told him that smoking weed can make you gay. Part of Steve wonders if this is true since he always thinks really gay thoughts while buying weed from Eddie Munson.

Genuinely debating just deleting all my accounts and starting new doing something else because I am miserable. The Castlevania fandom is the worst fandom I’ve ever been in my whole life.

Vent under a cut. Read the warnings in the tags.

First time I started being a fan of it I was a young teenager. At the time I was heavily suicidal, playing SotN is what got me distracted enough not to do it. Started out with Instagram because that’s where I heard most people went to start an art portfolio and do commissions.

First few months of being a fan of the series the hashtags were frozen due to the election happening, so I, a suicidal teenager, was immediately subjected to graphic gore porn of my favorite character (Simon) who I turned to looking up for comfort that was stuck there until the hashtags were unfrozen. For months I could not turn to my source of comfort without seeing that, and turned to dissociating even worse than I already was instead. That was the first red flag.

After this I had some sincerely good experiences with some live streams. Genuinely nice people doing cosplay and gaming. But there was one person I watched who did not end up as good as everyone else. This person followed me, liked my outfit stories, talked to me in chat. I was still in high school. Not gonna go into details for anonymity’s sake, but long story short I got groomed. And at around the same time I had made another “friend” in the fandom who turned out to be homophobic and would take out all their problems on me, a teen, while they were a grown ass adult. Instagram continued to get worse. Found out someone I was close to made some racist rant behind my back. Found out another was a MAP. So on and so forth. And the worst part is how many people I knew who were close friends with these people, people who would not have believed me if I’d told them. Especially since some of them were more popular than I.

So I gave up on Insta, stopped posting, stopped talking, and I got a discord. Which started out fine! Found a small server of nice fans, made good friendships I still have. I had Reddit for a short amount of time and found out how dogshit it is when a smaller server I thought was cool started bullying a small artist for drawing gay fanart. I use it purely for game dev and vocaloid help questions now. Eventually I got the courage to come here, to tumblr. Months into that move I run into CP. And then several TERFs. And then a necrophile in the main tags. And then misogyny. And then racism. And then defending CP. Then a surge of transphobia. And then I get shit for getting the courage to call out CP. I try to go to YouTube to find content and escape— run into out in the open slurs and people bluntly claiming albino people aren’t human in comment sections about Juste. I try to watch videos and see the art of my groomer being used everywhere. I am constantly reminded that I am outnumbered.

I go back to discord. The main mod of it ends up interacting creepily with minors and is transphobic to my friends. Whole server blows up. Large amount of people take the mod’s side and blacklist us from a large amount of servers, gossiping about everyone involved to completely unrelated people while not telling the whole truth, all while being horrifically transphobic about a friend. Someone else in the server turns out to be an abusive piece of shit. I don’t even try making a twitter because it’s a hellhole anyway, and someone I’d know about from most other platforms I’d been on harassed a friend of mine on there. Not to mention the transphobic roleplay account that’s still around somehow.

I swear I have to block a new person in this fandom every. single. day. I swear some bullshit happens in this fandom every. single. day.

I want to draw a vampire hunter and not be absolutely thoroughly terrified that I am going to run into more vile shit and dangerous situations if I talk to anyone. I want to draw a vampire hunter and not be deeply afraid of meeting new people in this fandom. I want to draw a vampire hunter and not have my paranoia confirmed every day. I want to draw a vampire hunter and find comfort in doing so again.

Is that too much to ask.

I just realised I probably sound pretty homophobic. I'm not. I just hate Scott. Who happens to be gay. So. Yeah.

I'm arguing with a homophobe on Reddit

My most recent point made was "women are hot, cry me a river."

Am I gonna win?
